About the piece
Painted circa 1890, this striking portrait by Édouard Vuillard depicts his friend and fellow artist Ker-Xavier Roussel. A defining work of the Nabis movement, the composition utilizes a bold profile silhouette and expressive, textured brushwork to create a sense of psychological depth against a decorative, patterned interior.
